This title is misleading. The article doesn't really go into how the "problem was solved," and despite the title's implication, there's zero analysis of how the lessons from the past might help us today.

It just states that after president McKinley was assassinated, the two men who were largely responsible for the rise of yellow journalism had a change of heart.

That's not a "solution" in any sense of the word, nor is it applicable today, as there are not two individual men battling for newspaper sales. Rupert and his son Lachlan Murdoch are semi-comparable media barons, but much of the modern misinformation/disinformation is backed by adversarial states, and decentralized.

We visited the Libraries in Chinguetti, Mauritania and met the custodian in this BBC Reel video [1]

It’s an amazing place. The libraries date from the late 8th century CE, and as you can see, the scientific works were ahead of their time, for the average European at least!

The training school car (which is the one I took my exam in) has a double set of pedals and additional mirrors so that the examiner can take over in case you do a horrible mistake. Which does happen quite a lot - some 20-30% of students fail the driving exam, and sometimes for nearly causing an accident (the examiner intervenes).

So to confirm, you took the job because there are no higher paying jobs available? I think GP was assuming that you had higher paying job options (given that EE jobs are high paying and generally in demand), but you chose to forgo that in favor of a research/academic position.

Hey HN,

Been building this framework over the past year, with the goal of leveraging Swift’s speed and safety with being able to share lots of code between iOS and server. Swift on the server is still a relatively small ecosystem so the focus has been creating something clean and Swifty that can accomplish most things out of the box. Would love some feedback on the code itself or the dev experience!
Is it easy to disable it? Personally I would not want any unpredictable behavior from query planner anyway, especially at scale.
It sounds like a fear of backlash - essentially if you find like 3% of the population with parking tickets it is fine. If you fine 40% to 60% then you get a large contingent pissed off at you - regardless of validity of the laws and enforcement unpopularity is perilous to laws and officials.

Let's see if the DOJ goes after them for predatory pricing first. Twitter may have bought themselves enough favor with the Biden administration that he'll let it slide.
I was in London the day of and after the Brexit vote in 2016. I still remember the shock of so many people there, including EU citizens who didn't know where they'd live or work when it was all over. I often wonder what happened to some of those people.

As I recall, nobody who actually lived in London wanted Brexit to happen - the only person I met who did was a cabbie who lived outside of the city. He told us we were his last ride. He had to get home to vote. I hope at least he got what he wanted.

From my perspective, Brexit has always seemed like an absolutely massive economic, political, and cultural self-own. It seems like it was born from a sense of self-importance that was based in a kind of Britain that just doesn't exist anymore - one that is the head of an empire, not just a piece of one. I understand why the arguments for it worked, but I wish they hadn't, because this nonsense (and much worse!) was always where it was going to end up.

But I'm not British, so what do I know? My country hasn't done much better in terms of political decision making. For those who supported it here, I sincerely hope it's been worth it.
Obama became familiar to politics-followers with his 2004 DNC speech, which instantly short listed him for the next Democratic primary. It also made him so popular he went around the country campaigning for other candidates. That's very unusual for a state representative in their first high-profile race. (It helped that he was basically unopposed in his Senate bid)
What about "correcting" fake news well after publishing? How does that impact the effects of fake news?

Case in point, NYT effectively reframed The 1619 Project well after it was published, after they ignored a significant number of criticisms from some of the best historians, and after winning a Pulitzer Prize.

I'm going to guess that most people are completely unaware that they eventually acknowledged that it was fake news.

I ask because I don't see social media posts about the project labeled as "disinformation". Is that because it's self-acknowledged at this point, despite already establishing itself as "real"? Is that because the fact-checkers are unaware of the updates?

I'm very curious how a more complicated scenario such as this affects people's understanding of the fitness of a piece of work.

Any insights or studies that I've missed?

There is no dedicated feature in js to detect private mode: private mode detection is done using a collection of innovative hacks and misuses of features.

Tracking/detecting/fingerprinting/etc. is an arms race. Every feature a browser has (or could have and lacks), can be used as a variable to compile a tracking profile that identifies you and/or your general browser configuration (including but not limited to private mode).

The biggest one of these though is something private mode can't control: IP. For that you need something like Tor or a VPN.
I'm not saying that there aren't other good examples. But, to target a US journalist like this, at a foreign embassy where there are recordings, logs of people entering and leaving (with visitor logs) where you could conceivably find those responsible and run it up the chain for accountabiliity is the rare element here that could and should be used.

If we actually start to make an example here, that this is not acceptable in our society, then perhaps others will feel less emboldened to do the same.
Ages ago I used "Bigfoot"'s free email forwarding for life. Which turned into a subset of email with limitations, fees, ads, and eventually shutdown.

Later I had my own domain, and did the address-per-site thing. Which was an absolute nightmare to undo when I sold the domain (grepping thru the raw self-hosted mbox and logging into and changing my email on hundreds of sites), although it was a great excuse to get going on using a password manager.

At this point I could use "plus addressing" at Fastmail (e.g. amazon+me@domain.com), but I find the endeavor pretty pointless. My spam is low, and I never once found it especially valuable to be able to identify or isolate an offending domain.

I don't expect that Firefox will go "full Bigfoot" on this one in terms of ads and fees but shutdown is a PITA risk. I would personally only use this kind of stuff for genuine one-offs where anonymity is paramount (read: probably not at all).
My point is that reducing how many neat gadgets people can buy will never get anyone's support apart from a few weirdos.

Making products last longer, maybe by forcing repairability, is a more constructive solution that would allow people to have their gadgets while lessening the negative effects of manufacturing them/disposing of them.

To each their own, but given the major questions around how much power Twitter has, I don't see a lot of free and open journalism happening there.

Ideally the entire reason you pay for this type of content is because you don't want to just read CNN. If Twitter is perceived as controlling your content anyway, why pay for it
> what amazes me is how it is possible to keep this thing swinging somewhat synchronously year after year

There's nothing to do to keep them in sync: every single[1] alternator connected to the electric grid is rotating at the same speed, which is driven by the frequency of the electricity. This is a physical effect.

The big challenge isn't to keep things in sync, it's to keep the supply equals to the demand. (when we don't, the frequency goes up or down depending on which is higher than the other)

[1]: in thermal stations only, wind turbines are not directly connected to the grid because their rotation speed depends on the wind…

What if right to repair lowers the barrier to entry so much that low cost labor can do the repair instead?

You mean without marking all the atoms as "object"? Clojure is written in Java and is dynamically typed. I experimented with statically typed linked-lists in Saccharin https://github.com/gilch/saccharin but ran into the limitations of Java's type system at the time. I couldn't figure out how to do certain list operations without losing the types.
The mistake people often make is mistaking a "fun" or "caring" atmosphere and demeanor of the company and assuming that that actually means the company cares about "fun" or cares for their employees.

If there is anything that poses a risk to the company, interferes with an employees ability to serve the company, or in any way reduces productivity... there will be no difference between canonical and oracle or even canonical and McDonalds.

The difference between your experience working at these companies is largely window dressing on the same corporate employer/employee model.

My impression as a rower who spent a lot of time with people rowing in the Oxford and Cambridge boat race is that the mix is not wildly different. The same rules seem to roughly apply as at lower levels where in an 8 you have people who are more powerful but with less technique in the middle of the boat, while the ends have the people with better technique.

One other point is that it's not just about technique but ability to maintain it. What impresses me about Olympic rowing is how perfect their technique continues to be at the end of the race. Having good technique is one thing, but keeping that technique as your muscles tire is very difficult.
Absolutely. I couldn't agree with you more.

And what's worse, its over oil - a resource that, no matter what your stance on climate change is - from which we are rapidly transitioning away.
When you bring "benefit" into the equation, inevitably we enter the political sphere, and then everything is debatable and somewhat linked to one's priorities. Personally, just the effort in industrial and commercial standardization across the continent is worth that money, let alone the increased cooperation and power effects.
If there are 350M US citizens, and 100.000 are "striking it rich" within 3-4 years, that's still 0.0003% chance of "striking it rich". 1 in 3500.

If, now, you're on some social hub with 1000 of them discussing, it would seem like "everybody" there has made it.

But they're far from everybody (not even close), and your chances overall are still 1/3500.

And that's just assuming everyone randomnly strikes it rich.
That is, not taking into account all other factors that come into play, like not merely "being alive in the US", but having the right connections, having money to invest to
begin with, etc that many of those people had.

If you don't have those prerequisites, you're even less likely than 1 in 3500 to "strike it rich".
Central banking is dirtier.

For desktop the main choice has long been JOSM (https://josm.openstreetmap.de/). Potlatch, the former online Flash-based editor, has now been repackaged as a desktop app (https://github.com/systemed/potlatch3 and https://systemed.net/potlatch/ - disclaimer: I'm the maintainer).

There's also iD (the JavaScript editor embedded in osm.org), of course, and a number of mobile editors such as Vespucci (Android) and Go Map!! (iOS).

In options trading, every dollar you earn is a dollar someone else lost while trading options, and had to give to you. It's zero-sum. If you include fees, people lose slightly more money than they gain in options trading, on average.

This is pretty different from YCombinator's startup investment. No one has to lose for YC to win. The money ultimately comes from customers of YC-funded startups, who are in theory engaging in positive-sum trade (getting more in value than the money they paid for it). On average, people are earning lots of money investing in startups.

To be clear, options trading does have value in terms of letting people buy insurance and providing a price signal in terms of how many people believe prices will go up or down, but this is comparatively marginal and doesn't affect the options traders themselves.

I think one AI that would be nice to have is something to sell to AWS: A tool that examines data that is publicly on S3 and tries to analyze if it's sensitive data or just media assets, etc... S3 seems to be our largest source of data breaches sadly.

There's a whole branch of "security" AI that needs more exploring: shell analysis (hacker or not), IP connection analysis, change analysis. lots of crap.
SUSE is successful too, just small.

Canonical has a wide audience but they've been unable to actually translate that into a self-sustaining business. They're lucky that Mark Shuttleworth is committed guy and not too attached to his stacks of money.
Fair point. I don't remember which one exactly it was (they are 2 hour long) but it was from the series "Dochodzenie Prawdy" on the channel "Reset Obywatelski". The episode number was between 1 and 8. The talks are in Polish language only.

Not all modern libraries are public. Many academic and law libraries are not public. So too there are internal libraries maintained by state organizations, mostly military, which are not public access. But there are all still "libraries".
Vespucci for Android also works in general, I heard good things about "Go Map!!" for Apple devices.

Potlatch 3 is also existing but I never used it.

I agree most with the attribution to React being the trailblazer and Svelte/others learning from it in many ways. React paved the way for component-driven development (though to be fair you could credit Backbone Views or Angular Directives for starting the ball rolling), and that means it was always going to be the hardest to change.

Frameworks like Vue, Preact, Svelte and others benefited from React existing and causing them to ask the questions they did (how can we make this simpler? is it possible to have the feel of component-driven layouts without the VDOM?)

No, the point is you aren't allowed to do that. The initial filing for their satellites in the frequencies that they were requesting were for a certain altitudes. Without a brand new filing (not an amendment). They didn't do that.
I won't read the article as the comments clearly indicate it is selective. We all know lockdowns have a major impact on many businesses and individuals. We also know that restricting contact will slow the spread of disease.

It's all going to be a case of how the statistics are captured, measured, assessed, reported. Can't take any reports as 100% accurate

I don't think it's a matter of respect. I think it's just the result of a simple cost-benefit analysis.

It's costly to support additional runtimes in your application. That's why despite the popularity of many JS alternatives, none of them are natively supported by browsers. Chromium even has a branch with a native Dart runtime but Google's own web browser doesn't want to take on the added cost of supporting Google's own web scripting language[0].

> But, the factorio team didn't offer this to me, and I appreciate their diverse values, suggesting that Lua is adequate.

I assume they didn't chose Lua because of the language syntax. I'm sure they chose it becaude it's a language intentionally designed to be easy to embed into other applications. Lua even describes itself as "lightweight" and "embeddable"[1].

Other mammals live for 1 billion heartbeats, humans live for 4 billion. We are already long lived compared to rats and mice, so anything where you increase their lifespan could just be bringing them part of the way to where we are.
Why should one group have special protection relative to another?
Cynicism is almost always a good idea. Companies like Shell (83k employees in 2019 according to wikipedia) are large enough that they can simultaneously have departments trying to diversify into renewables and also have different departments lobbying against renewables. Their willingness to invest billions of dollars in renewables and the surrounding infrastructure does make me hopeful though.
Spinach is the biggest exception i can think of - _Spinacia oleracea_, in the Caryophyllales, a different order to the Brassicales.

I don't think Indian cooking uses a lot of brassicas as greens. Lots of spinach, plus amaranth, also a Caryophyllale, and fenugreek/methi, a Fabale. Mustard leaf is a brassica, though.

Curious if Twitter will carry-over their draconian (and selectively enforced) censorship rules to Revue.

I assume this was discussed as part of the acquisition? Will publishers have free reign to discuss topics that they want to publish on or do Twitter "rules" govern what's allowed to be discussed?
This seems to be unfounded criticism.
When statistics are gathered, PostgreSQL samples a certain percentage of the table, so that obviously scales.
The number of "most common values" and histogram buckets scales up to 10000, which should be good even for large tables.
While I'll readily admit that not all aspects of cross-column dependencies are dealt with, and cross-table distributions are not considered, that has nothing to do with size.
I guess you hit a problem somewhere, couldn't solve it and jumped to unwarranted conclusions.
